RedSky and ITility Announce 8(a) SBA Mentor-Protégé Program Approved Joint Venture: RedSky ITility Enterprise Systems, LLC (RIES)

June 14, 2024 — RedSky and ITility are pleased to announce the formation of their new joint venture, RedSky ITility Enterprise Systems, LLC (RIES). This strategic partnership is an SBA approved 8(a) small business mentor-protégé joint venture (MP JV), positioning RIES to offer enhanced capabilities and support to the Federal Government.

The SBA 8(a) certification is a significant milestone, providing RIES with access to a range of federal contracting opportunities designed to foster business growth and development. This certification emphasizes the JV's commitment to leveraging the combined strengths of RedSky and ITility to deliver cutting-edge IT solutions to a broader market.

As an 8(a) MP JV, working with RIES is simple and offers unique contracting advantages:

• Proven Track Record: RedSky and ITility are award-winning companies with a successful history of collaboration on various contracts, establishing a strong foundation for the MP relationship.
• Comprehensive Solutions: RIES leverages the strengths and capabilities of both RedSky and ITility to offer innovative, comprehensive solutions to our customers.
• Ability to Sole Source: Customers may sole source work up to $4.5M to RIES making it quick and easy to partner.

As an 8(a), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) MP JV, RIES offers the additional distinction of a commitment to empowering diversity, equity and inclusion across the small business sectors and encouraging growth as part of the goals set by the government organizations.

We extend a special thank you to the US Small Business Administration – Washington Metropolitan District Office. Without the support of our Business Opportunity Specialists and the Mentor-Protégé Program office, this significant step in our journey as a growing small business would not have been possible. Their guidance and resources have been invaluable to our journey towards excellence and will continue to be a cornerstone of our success.
